Vintage Knit Patterns for Babies

Today I thought it would be nice to share a couple of knitting patterns from my vintage pattern book collection. This first pattern is from a small book publish in London during World War II. The book is full of practical, economical, yet adorable patterns for children. This little "bed" jacket would make a lovely sweater for your favorite little girl:

In another vintage pattern book, I found this lovely little dress. This pattern book is also from the war era but was published in Australia. It is also full of beautiful layette patterns.
